Aging in Place. Seniors in Alberta live in smaller and older homes. These homes require adaptations and upgrades as people age, some of which are costly — steps, furnaces, hot water heating, roof repair, lifts, bars, flooring, lighting, and so on. As people age they may need supports in terms of health care, meal preparation, cleaning services, assis- tance with appointments, transportation, etc. Some of these services are public; however, many are not. The Social Consequence of Poverty To live a full and inclusive life certain factors must be in place. Poverty affects the keystones funda- mental to good health and well being. These include:
Aging in Place. A State Survey of Livability Policies and Practices, written by the National Conference of State Legislatures with the AARP Public Policy Institute, nearly 90 percent of people over age 65 want to stay in their home for as long as possible, and 80 percent believe their current residence is where they will always live. However, for older adults to age in place, their physical and service environment must be accommodating. A livable community is one that is safe and secure, has affordable and appropriate housing and transportation options, and has supportive community features and services. Once in place, those resources enhance personal independence; allow residents to age in place; and xxxxxx residents’ engagement in the community’s civic, economic, and social life. In 2016 IVC had 120 new care receivers and 148 in 2017, a 19% increase. There were 48 new volunteers in 2016 and 54 in 2017 who provided reliable person-to-person services to their neighbors. 43% of our care receivers are over the age of 85 and 54% of this group live alone, often without family nearby or a strong support system. The short-term impact of IVC services is meeting the growing day-to- day needs that are not able to be addressed by other organizations, families and governmental entities; and the long- term impact is allowing people to safely age in place and continue to be engaged and valued members of their community. There is also a significant cost savings when people are able to stay at home versus moving to assisted living or a skilled nursing facility. According to AARP, the median cost for nursing home care in Kitsap County is $94,557 to $122,885 per year, Assisted Living $57,000 per year, Home Health Aid for 28 hours a week $39,312 and homemaker services for 22 hours per week equates to $30,888 per year, well beyond the means of the average senior. The priority needs IVC is addressing and our number one service is for transportation, and we are receiving many more requests for off-Island trips, including Seattle, Silverdale and Bremerton for specialty medical services not available locally. Another increasing priority is respite care, companionship and connections for people who are homebound, suffering from dementia, chronic health and mobility issues and other challenges.
